The shoes are also a brand new style from Neiliansheng.
This was of course designed by Xiao Qian, and was inspired by the pair of embroidered high-heeled cloth shoes that Si Teng wore when Qin Fang washed Si Teng's feet.
This style has completed a gorgeous transformation of Chinese cloth shoes, and has an aesthetic that is completely in line with the times.
The pair made for Xu Qing is not off-white. In order to match the aqua blue cheongsam, it is designed in light pink.
In short, one requirement is to vividly demonstrate the elegance of Eastern tradition.
As a result, Xu Qing conquered everyone as soon as she made her appearance.
It was just a title sequence, so it was not very difficult to shoot. The first location was set up in the studio of Beijing Film Studio.
"Sister Qing, wait a moment when you walk in from outside the camera and sit in front of the dressing table. The mirror will feed your appearance back to the camera, so you don't need to look at the camera."
The simple mahogany dressing table, paired with the small Xuan window, brings out the antique atmosphere.
Xu Qing followed Xiao Qian's instructions, slowly walked over and sat in front of the dressing table.
The angle of the camera was arranged in advance, so her appearance was clearly captured through the reflection of the mirror.
"Makeup artist, please damage Sister Qing's hair a little bit, just a little bit."
The makeup artist quickly stepped forward and scattered a few hairs from Xu Qing's original ladylike bun.
"At this time, Sister Qing, you start dressing up. After doing your hair, pick up the hairpin on the table and prepare to insert it into your hair."
Xu Qing did as she was told and picked up the hairpin again, but before she could insert it into her bun, Xiao Qian's words came again.
"Sister Qing, look, this hairpin is broken."
Only then did Xu Qing notice that the delicate hairpin in her hand originally had a pair of butterflies on it. But now only half of it was left, and the other half was incomplete.
"Looking at the broken hairpin, Sister Qing, you looked thoughtful, and your thoughts gradually drifted away."
Acting with such expressions was not difficult at all for Xu Qing. After she tried it for a while, Xiao Qian was satisfied.
"Okay, that's all the content of this shot. Next, let's rehearse it as a whole."
Xu Qing grasped the context and asked curiously: "If this episode is broadcast, how long will it last?"
Xiao Qian had it all in mind.
"It will take about five to ten seconds, and we will see the effect of the editing then."
There are only three episodes in the documentary, so of course the opening part needs to be streamlined and streamlined to express the meaning clearly.
Xu Qing walked through it twice, and there were no mistakes in the rehearsal, so filming officially started.
After waiting, the crew set off and rushed to the Forbidden City.
In order to cooperate with today's shooting, the Forbidden City is not open to the public.
"Sister Qing, have you seen the palace gate in front of you? When you walk slowly over, the palace gate will slowly open, and then the magnificent panoramic view of the entire Forbidden City will be presented to you."
Xu Qing frowned and gestured at the distance.
"Why so far?"
She estimated that it would take at least dozens of steps to walk from her current position to the palace gate. Such a long distance was quite a test for her.
This feeling is the same as that of a model walking on the catwalk.
A distance of dozens of steps is very common in daily life. No matter who it is, they just walk away casually.
But it doesn't work on the catwalk. People with poor psychological quality can get cramps in their calves. As for walking on a crutch and falling down, it's very common.
The same goes for shooting.
You have to walk under the shadow of the camera all the time, and you have to control your speed and posture. It's easy to make a fool of yourself.
There was nothing Xiao Qian could do.
"This section is the key. The clothes and shoes need to be included in the shot. If it is not long, the camera will not be able to capture it."
This is a cooperative project with Nei Liansheng and Qian Taixiang. We must help the two brands to advertise. Therefore, the close-up shots must be clear and truly show the beauty of the product.
Especially since the sun is shining brightly today, the photos taken under such natural light will be breathtakingly beautiful.
Xu Qing just had some doubts, but not enough to refuse. As a professional actor, this difficulty will not make her timid.
"Then you arrange it, I'll take a walk first."
So she concentrated on walking along the set route over and over again. The assistant followed beside her, holding a stopwatch for her and correcting her posture errors.
"Sister Qing, the speed here is very fast...Sister Qing, your hips have to be twisted, it doesn't look good..."
Xiao Qian felt really comfortable working with such a dedicated actor and hurriedly stared at the crew's arrangements.
Three hours later, filming officially started.
Xiao Qian got behind the monitor and shouted: "Start..."
The high-altitude camera lens moves slowly, creating a top-to-bottom feeling. In the end, the lens is like sunlight, falling on a cheongsam woman slowly walking towards the palace gate.
In front of the dressing table, what is mainly displayed is the origin of the story. Therefore, Xu Qing's beauty is not clear enough.
But here, the panoramic lens is used.
In the side shot, the beauty of the woman and the beauty of the cheongsam were completely displayed. Even without the post-processing filter effects, Xiao Qian and Ran Hongyu were stunned as they stared at the monitor.
Ran Hongyu didn't dare to speak, but gave Xiao Qian a thumbs up.
This person's vision for selecting actors is amazing!
After the full-body shot, there is a close-up of the shoes.
The camera is close to the ground and moves with Xu Qing's footsteps. Because of the woman's swaying steps, the beauty of the shoes is completely released.
Ran Hongyu, who was also a woman, couldn't help it anymore and muttered: "These shoes are on the market, I must buy a pair."
Not just her, almost all the women in the crew had the same idea.
In the past, these people focused on internationally renowned brands and were proud to wear big-name shoes. But it was not until today that they discovered that traditional Chinese shoes also have an intoxicating beauty.
Noticing this situation, the corners of Xiao Qian's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Neiliansheng, this is a good opportunity for you to become bigger and stronger, it depends on whether you can seize it.
In the camera, Xu Qing finally walked to the palace gate, raised her head and stared at the extremely majestic building. The camera slowly lowered from behind her, taking pictures of the entire palace gate from bottom to top.
After a break, Xu Qing returned to her position, and the palace door was slowly pushed open.
As the gap grew larger, the vast and majestic imperial palace appeared in the picture.
At this time, the camera passed over Xu Qing and began to photograph the environment of the Forbidden City.
The camera passes through the palace gate, then slowly rises and pushes forward, the angle of view becomes wider and wider, and the entire palace becomes the final picture.
"Hey, it would be great if there were drones."
Looking at the monitor, Xiao Qian felt regretful.
The first part of this footage was shot using ropeway technology. In the second half, a helicopter had to be used for a larger wide-angle lens.
It took a lot of effort and effort, and the results were not satisfactory.
If we had a drone, this could be done in a few dozen minutes.
At this time, he missed Wang Tao who was still studying in Hong Kong even more.
You brat, I don’t know how you’re doing now?
No, we must think of ways to catalyze his growth.
At this point, the whole filming is finished.
Xu Qing's thoughts are still unfinished.
"I finally came here, please take more pictures."
Xiao Qian rolled her eyes repeatedly.
"Other actors are eager to play less roles and get more money, but you are still rushing to increase the number of roles."
Xu Qing looked at herself in the monitor and was already intoxicated.
"I can't help it. Who told you to make me look so beautiful in photos? If I keep this image and temperament, I won't be tired of taking photos for the rest of my life."
She is not tired, but Xiao Qian is.
After bidding farewell to Xu Qing and handing over the crew to Ran Hongyu, Xiao Qian returned to the Magic City with the film.
Ran Hongyu was responsible for the rest of the filming of the documentary.
What follows is all tedious and delicate work, but it is clearly arranged in the script. With Ran Hongyu as a tool in charge, there will be no problems.
Xiao Qian still had to hurry up and get everything needed for the documentary.
The most important thing is the soundtrack.
In the editing room, when the scene came to Xu Qing standing in front of the palace door and the palace door slowly opening, Xiao Qian added the soundtrack.
The thick and powerful soundtrack and the far-reaching shots made Liu Zhihao and Lin Linlin, who participated in the production of the soundtrack, tremble.
Xiao Qian was also very satisfied with the use of the soundtrack and almost added the subtitles: Guojiao 1573!
No, this is not a liquor commercial, but a documentary.
There is no way, who calls this music too classic!
Since it is a documentary about the Forbidden City, how can "Memory of the Forbidden City" be justified if the soundtrack is not suitable?
It's only fitting to use the Divine Comedy in such a place. Use it to advertise liquor...
Do you think you are Maotai and can rise to more than 2,000?
But it doesn't matter if he does this, it makes Liu Zhihao and Lin Linlin happy.
"I said you are very good at playing this kind of music. Counting the pieces you have made over the years, it is enough to hold a concert in the Vienna Golden Hall."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
